Eating your way through the streets of Saigon
One of the biggest perks of living in Saigon is the local food. You can ride a motorbike from place to place all day long with a belly full of tasty dishes.

 
This list below is obviously nowhere close to comprehensive, but it offers 5 amazing eateries around Saigon that not many people know about as well as how to find them in the city of a bustling sea of motorbikes.
  • 1. Ca Ri Ga Ta (Chicken Curry)

    This one is a good starter journey for those who are not exceedingly comfortable navigating the city because it’s close to District 1 while still being far enough off the beaten path to count as an excursion you won’t have on a typical motorbike tour in Ho Chi Minh City. You can get the curry served on rice noodles or served with bread to dip into it.

    Address: 360 Le Van Luong St, District 7

  • 2. Hau (Oyster)

    Hau is a great spot because it’s very clean and has great service and a nice ambiance while still remaining distinctly Vietnamese in its style. Lastly, the prices are very good, much lower than they have any business being at such a nice establishment. Moreover, don't miss the chance to grab a fried rice, a plate of “rau muống xào tỏi,” and a soda for $3.

    Address: 86 No.30, Nguyen Thi Thap St, District 7

  • 3. Oc (Sea snails)

    It is a traditional Vietnamese seafood place that serves sea snails and grilled eel in addition to the more familiar shrimp, scallops, and oysters. For those looking to embrace the local culinary culture, though, it is incredible. Most of the dishes are delicious, but the location is what makes this place shine.

    Address: 128 Vinh Khanh St, District 4

  • 4. Phở Chua Thanh (Sour Pho)

    Phở Chua, or “sour pho,” is a dish that originated in rural Vietnam and only recently made its way to Saigon, so it’s still very rare in the city and is only served at a few places. It’s sweet and tangy, though, and it’s definitely worth seeking out.

    Address: 242/101 Nguyen Thien Thuat St, District 3

  • 5. Vit Quay (Roast Duck)

    One of the most popular options among locals, though, is Vĩnh Phong, a sidewalk vendor with the best Chinese-style roast duck. The place is take-out only and it’s not as cheap as traditional Vietnamese duck places (a fresh duck at Vĩnh Phong is about $18 with sauces and stir-fried mushrooms included), but it’s definitely worth it if you’re planning to eat in or have a poolside BBQ.

    Address: Vinh Phong, 523 – 527 Pham Van Tri St, District 5
